the changes to the nuclear doctrine announced by the president should be considered a certain signal. to unfriendly countries, this was stated by the presidential press secretary dmitry peskov. the whole world knows well and sensible people know well about our nuclear potential and its deterrent role. of course, there is an adjustment of nuclear costs taking into account those elements of tension that are developing. well, right now there are broadcasts from the manege and the president of the republic of equatorial guinea teodoro abianke nguema. the president's speech

russian federation vladimir vladimirovich putin. ladies and gentlemen, dear friends, colleagues, i am very glad to welcome you all to moscow. the russian energy week forum, this event has firmly entered the business schedule of global energy, once again united on its platform the heads of leading industry companies and organizations, government representatives, recognized specialists, experts, journalists. this year, over four thousand participants... from more than 50 countries gathered

together to discuss the most important issues energy, the challenges that are faced today, are faced by producers, consumers of energy resources in all parts of the world, and of course, the current forum is an excellent opportunity to establish new contacts, agree on cooperation and exchange opinions on ... urgent prospects of the fuel and energy complex. it is obvious that modern energy is one of the key industries, a real foundation for global development, when it works calmly, according to transparent, understandable rules, when deposits are developed and resources are processed, and supplies to the market are uninterrupted, all this creates a solid foundation for economic growth. social sphere to

improve the well-being of citizens. unfortunately, this is a truism, less and less taken into account by those who have adopted the mechanisms of illegal sanctions. and believe that they can use them to their advantage. and in the energy sector. what are we talking about? historically, it turned out that the main elements were concentrated in the hands of the west.

i think many will agree with me that all these instruments are used primarily as instruments of unfair competition. the motive is obvious: the west does not want competition because it cannot cope with it, often losing in conditions of fair struggle. does not resort to discrimination, presenting it under the guise of imaginary euro-atlantic solidarity, the fight for human rights and so on, well, there are many pretexts, but what happens in the end, by closing access to its platform, the west only spurred the development of alternative solutions, alternative logistics, insurance, international payment systems and technological...

these solutions are mostly independent of outside influence, given that they are gradually being built on a qualitatively new technological basis, then every day they become more effective and, what is very important, more widespread. first of all, in countries that are gaining momentum, demonstrating high rates of economic development. i have already said more than once that the modern world has entered an era of fundamental, irreversible changes.

but still the main growth will be concentrated not in europe and not in north america, which are gradually losing their positions in the global economy, in the brics countries and those states that want to join our association, see the prospect in equal interaction taking into account national interests. well, i have already said this, but in this audience i will repeat it again, these are objective data, international.

economic potentials, in the creation in the current year sees its task in the addition of a space of opportunities for all who interested in harmonious, mutually beneficial cooperation, i emphasize, mutually beneficial, that is, in the common interests of our countries and peoples, for states that are already or will become promising growth centers, we intend to form an effective and free from negative interference from the outside.

russia is expanding the geography and scale

of energy cooperation, new routes are being built to dynamically growing, capacious markets, including the countries of the eurasian economic union, the cis, and the south of eurasia, rates are increasing for the siberian power gas pipeline, and exports of liquefied gas continue to grow natural gas, so from the russian arctic has become one of the anchor main cargoes of the northern sea route. we will definitely continue to develop our own services and technologies in the lng sector, create centers for transshipment, storage and trade of liquefied natural gas, we will provide projects with gas carriers and, of course, increase the capacity of our arctic and eastern sea ports, strengthen communications, infrastructure, everything in the sea route, well, my russian colleagues know what i'm talking about, they create a lot of problems, of course, this partly hinders the implementation our plans, but they will certainly be

implemented. we are generally expanding international transport corridors. by 2030, the volume of transportation along these corridors should increase by at least one and a half times compared to 2021. including developing the eastern railway polygon. if this year the throughput capacity. conditionally its difficulties, in order to solve this problem, we are switching to transactions in national

currencies, our partners are highly interested in this, there are also many problems here, we understand this perfectly well, but we are overcoming them these problems gradually, so the share of the ruble in our foreign trade operations is already approaching 40%, from 2021 to 2023 the share of the ruble in settlements for exports increased. brics countries, we are working on creating our own payment and settlement circuit, which at the same time, within the framework of cooperation with will create conditions for effective and independent servicing of all foreign trade. i will add that energy supplies from russia allow.

chains, this is how cooperation in the field of peaceful atom develops, when rosatom stations are built abroad simultaneously with the training of local personnel, with the training of engineers, workers, managers for new facilities, in fact, we are not just building a station, as they say in rosatom, we are creating an industry for our partners, a new industry.

by 18%, and the stations themselves have undergone deep modernization, have become more modern,

efficient, and environmentally friendly, since it is natural gas, an environmentally friendly, efficient hydrocarbon, that accounts for 48% of our country's energy balance, together with nuclear and hydroelectric power, which have a minimum carbon footprint, this is the share at... 85%, that is, our energy balance is one of the greenest in the world, this is a completely obvious fact and...

to implement further, we will continue to update and strengthen our energy system, which has entered a period of rearmament and the development of new technological solutions, including we are forming a solid scientific and practical reserve in such promising areas as renewable energy sources, small nuclear power plants, thermonuclear fusion, as well as hydrogen generation, the production of electric cars - automobile transport, water, rail transport on this type of fuel. yes, research and technology here are at different stages of implementation, but i repeat once again, it is already important to see this prospect and make plans for the future. as you know, the government has been instructed to extend the planning horizon of russia's energy strategy until the middle of the current

century. this strategy is a large complex of provisions, including, as i have already said, the development of new technologies, the development of deposits, construction of supporting infrastructure, power plants and power lines, i remind you: in the coming months, my colleagues from the government must prepare an updated energy strategy and then implement it step by step, work on the priorities of long-term development of domestic technology. now, as far as i know, the parameters are being agreed upon in the government between departments. i spoke about these priorities in detail a year ago within

the framework of the previous energy week. let me remind you that the main one is ensuring domestic market. new generation capacities, including thermal, hydro-nuclear power plants. we will strengthen the links between the energy systems of the urals, siberia, the east of the country, while special attention will be paid to the supply of the far east. electricity consumption in this region is growing at an accelerated rate, higher than the all-russian average. and

as production, housing construction, infrastructure, and social facilities continue to develop.

operation of grid-free, unfortunately, there are such facilities, the elimination of the consequences of an accident on the networks, and so on. i ask the government together with the heads of the regions of the russian federation and energy companies, constantly analyze the efficiency of territorial grid organizations, and also for each subject of the federation to draw up its own plan for increasing the reliability of electricity supply. of course, with transparent sources of financing, worked out in advance. here. it is necessary to apply all the tools from regulatory agreements and infrastructure loans to concession mechanisms and service contracts. i would like to say separately about the gas. industry, it is now going through a stage of serious changes, it is not only about switching exports from west to east, but about a significant increase in supplies to

the domestic market, including under the social gasification program, which started in 2021, is proceeding at a good pace, for which i would like to thank the management of gazprom. here, of course, the leading role is assigned to it, our largest company in the gas sector. in the gas sector, gazprom, i ask the company, its management, together with the government, to prepare a ten-year plan, the implementation of which will certainly ensure sustainable development of the corporation, creation of infrastructure for changing the geography of supplies, and i repeat, it should take into account both our large-scale plans for gasification of russian regions, and the increase in gas processing within the country, well, when i say:

neprikovskoye field in the samara region, new oil and gas provinces are being introduced in eastern siberia and the arctic,

meaning such large projects as vostok oil in the krasnoyarsk territory, the morning and shturmovoe fields on the godyn peninsula. the capacity of the coal mining center is being expanded at far east. by the way, the pacific railway will start operating next year. this is a private highway from the elginskoye field in yakutia to the port of elga in khabarovsk krai. i repeat, it is very important that the development of russia's unique reserves allows for the development of domestic processing enterprises, creating maximum added value, right here, in russia, in our country. we have launched a state program for the modernization of oil refineries. its task is to provide the economy. cities, all populated areas points of our citizens with high-quality fuel, lubricants, bitumen, and other products. i ask the government to closely

monitor the implementation of this program, to work specifically on each enterprise, on repair times and production upgrades. particular attention should be paid to the development of oil, gas, and coal chemistry. according to estimates, the demand for their products in our country and around the world will only grow, and these sectors are highly profitable, with price increases in chains from raw materials to finished goods amounting to up to twelve times. in russia, large projects, even by world standards, are being implemented in this area. the country's largest petrochemical plant, zapsip neftekhim, is operating, the amur gas chemical complex is being built, which will become the most powerful russian enterprise for the production of basic polymers, there are other large projects, it is important that there are more such projects, so that new production facilities are opened in different regions of the country,

modern, well-paid jobs are created . the government has already drawn attention to this, i would like to repeat again, it is necessary to support such business initiatives. and also, it is obvious that in modern conditions, reliable operation of deposits, pipelines, processing plants. power plants, teka as a whole is determined by the availability of our own personnel, technologies, competencies, equipment for the extraction and transportation of resources, power engineering and so on and so forth. one of the important systemic instruments for supporting domestic solutions will be the national project, which will be launched next year, it is called new nuclear and energy technologies. within the framework of this national project, ambitious tasks will be set, namely to consolidate russia's global leadership in the nuclear sphere, namely to consolidate global leadership, because now it,

our leadership. begin to implement it. dear colleagues, the fuel and energy complex of russia is a modern, dynamic industry. domestic technology successfully responds to current, including global challenges, strengthens the raw materials, technological and industrial sovereignty of our country. supports and develops trade, cooperation ties with responsible foreign partners. fulfills its

obligations to supply energy resources to the world market, plays a stabilizing role in it, participating in such authoritative formats as opec plus and the gas exporting countries forum. incidentally, here we also cooperate with the country that our guest represents, in one organization, in another. and we will certainly continue this cooperation with our partners. i am sure that the strategic, long-term tasks that face. russian energy will be solved without any doubt, which means that our energy companies, their workforces, the entire industry as a whole will be provided with stable, reliable work for many, many years to come, will make their own, moreover, significant, noticeable contribution to achieving the national development goals of russia in improving the quality of life of our citizens, and , of course, will continue to contribute

to the balancing of world energy markets in the interests of sustainable global development. thank you for your attention. speech by the president of the republic of equatorial guinea, theodore obiang nguema mbasoga.

to speak at this seventh international forum russian ladies and gentlemen, it is a great honor for me energy week on the topic of energy cooperation in a multipolar world. also.

vladimir putin, president of the russian federation for the fraternal welcome for the hospitality extended to us since.
